The following provides additional guidance on how to complete the Mitigation Action Worksheet. If you have any questions, please contact: Jonathan Raser ([email protected] or 973-630-8042) or Heather Apgar ( [email protected] or 973-630-8046) at Tetra Tech
Hazard(s) addressed: Please enter the hazard of concern you are mitigating. For this plan, the hazards of concern identified for the planning area are:
Coastal Erosion Drought Earthquake Extreme Temperatures Flooding (riverine, flash, coastal, urban/stormwater, dam failure) Land Failure (land slide) Severe Storms (windstorms, thunderstorms, hail, lightning and tornados) Severe Winter Storm (heavy snow, blizzards, ice storms) Wildfire
Specific problem being mitigated: Please describe the specific problem being mitigated.
Actions/Projects Considered: Please consider different options to mitigate the problem identified. One alternative is always to accept the current level or risk (tolerate the vulnerability/problem) by deciding to take no action at this time. If you choose to take no action, please complete the worksheet up to and including this section and this will be noted in the Plan.
Please include the name of the action considered and a brief reason as to why the action was not selected. The reasoning documents the consideration of these alternatives.
Description of the Selected Project: Please provide a brief description of the selected project.
Mitigation Action Type:
Local Plans and Regulations (LPR) – These actions include government authorities, policies or codes that
influence the way land and buildings are being developed and built.
Structure and Infrastructure Project (SIP) - These actions involve modifying existing structures and infrastructure to protect them from a hazard or remove them from a hazard area. This could apply to public or private structures as well as critical facilities and infrastructure. This type of action also involves projects to construct manmade structures to reduce the impact of hazards.
Natural Systems Protection (NSP) – These are actions that minimize damage and losses, and also preserve
or restore the functions of natural systems. Education and Awareness Programs (EAP) – These are actions to inform and educate citizens, elected officials, and property owners about hazards and potential ways to mitigate them. These actions may also include participation in national programs, such as StormReady and Firewise Communities.
DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan - Dutchess County, New York E-
Goals: Please insert the goals that would be met if the action/project is implemented.
Goal 1. Protect Life Goal 2. Protect property, including public and private property, critical facilities and infrastructure. Goal 3. Increase education and awareness, and promote relationships with stakeholders, citizens, government officials, and property owners to develop opportunities for mitigation of natural hazards. Goal 4. Encourage the development and implementation of long-term, cost-effective, and resilient mitigation projects to preserve or restore the functions of natural systems. Goal 5. Build regional, county and local mitigation and related emergency management capabilities. Goal 6. Promote Local and Regional Sustainability Goal 7. Support comprehensive county and local mitigation through the integration of hazard mitigation planning into related county and local plans and programs
Benefits: Please describe the losses avoided when the project is implemented. This includes physical property damage; loss of function; road closing/detours; etc.
Estimated Cost : Please provide the estimated cost or use the following ranges: Low = < $10,000 Medium = $10,000 to $100,000 High = > $100,
Priority: Please enter High/Medium/Low. Refer to the prioritization exercise and table.
Potential Funding Source: Please identify the anticipated funding source, which could be “Grant funding with local cost share”. Sources may include federal, state and local sources.
Timeline for Completion : Short = 1 to 5 years. Long Term= 5 years or greater. OG = On-going program.
Please provide a status update on the selected action/project. Along with this description, please indicate if the action/project is completed or not completed.
Actions which are not complete may be dropped with a rational provided (e.g., project deemed unfeasible…). Other incomplete actions should clearly be indicated as continuing; indicate percent complete, and identify any hurdles/obstacles/reasons for change in schedule. Even actions that have had no progress to date can be identified as continuing. For any action that is not yet complete and will continue, always consider modifying the action to promote implementation.
Please note this report on progress should be done, at minimum, each year prior to the annual Planning Committee update outlined in the plan maintenance procedures in Section 7 (Plan Maintenance).
